Music Appreciation
Leaders: Tony Clayden and Edward Cross
Availability: unrestricted membership provided you are in Radlett & District u3a
The group meets at the Tabard Rugby Club, Cobden Hill Radlett – nearly opposite the [now closed] Cat and Fiddle public house. Although we principally tend to concentrate on the ‘serious’ end of the spectrum, we do from time to time cast our net wider.
Our sessions are held on the third Monday in the month, from 2 pm until 4.30 pm. Admission is £4 per person, which includes tea/coffee and biscuits. For further details, please contact either of the two group co-leaders : Edward Cross :- 07961 102197 Edx2017@outlook.com. Tony Clayden :- 020-8449 5559
The group meet on Monday 18 July at 2.30 at Tabard Rugby Club. Carmel Byers and Edward Cross will present ‘Great British Choral Music for Royal Occasions’ featuring some wonderful well- and lesser-known music from the 17th. Century to the present day. Some of it may be very loud, for which no extra charge is made. Contact Edward Cross 07961 102197 Edx2017@outlook.com for any further information.

We do not confine ourselves to classical music.
Have you ever noticed:
- a cello asking a clarinet to dance (Weber's Invitation to the Dance)?!
- or a band of women inviting men to a drinking party only to massacre them after the men fell asleep, to avenge one woman's hurt at being jilted by her lover (Smetana's Sarka in Ma Vlast)?!
- or that the 4 woodwind chords at beginning of Mendelssohn's Midsummer nights dream represented the 'square of magic'?!
